Experts classify the ailment by the nature of the course:

  • acute, which occurs in 50% of patients no older than 30-35 years. Mainly associated with bacterial infections;
  • chronic. It does not manifest itself for a long time and can develop against the background of an infectious process.

Due to the occurrence, it happens:

  • bacterial that occurs within the organ;
  • non-bacterial, in which pathological changes occur predominantly chronically;
  • viral, in which the entire genital area suffers.

By the nature of structural changes, they are distinguished:

  • fibrous form. The growth of glandular tissues occurs fairly quickly and requires radical treatment. Clinically similar to ICD for prostate adenoma of which 40, 0;
  • calculating. It occurs when stones form in the tissues of the glandular organ. It is considered a harbinger of cancer;
  • stagnant form. Occurs with physical inactivity, prolonged abstinence from sexual intercourse.

Causes and symptoms

The pathology of the gland, both chronic and acute, is directly related to the conduct of an inappropriate lifestyle, addiction to smoking and alcohol, and poor physical activity.

ICD codes for acute and chronic prostatitis

Chronic prostatitis ICD code 41. 1 with any adverse factor may worsen. Acute inflammation of ICD 41. 0 leads to edema of the glandular tissues, which is fraught with acute urinary retention.

Such diseases, in the absence of proper treatment, lead to serious complications:

  • the development of male infertility;
  • narrowing and scarring of the urethral canal;
  • recurrent cystitis;
  • pyelonephritis and other ailments affecting the kidneys;
  • suppuration of the gland tissues, which requires immediate medical intervention;
  • sepsis, which develops more often in people with weakened immunity.

Pathology diagnosis

In some cases, a single digital rectal examination and familiarization with the patient's complaints are sufficient to make a diagnosis. However, inflammation is diagnosed primarily by instrumental and laboratory examination methods.

The patient is referred to:

  • blood and urine tests to determine infection and inflammation;
  • analysis of prostate secretions;
  • ultrasound examination of the prostate, kidneys, bladder;
  • urethrocytoscopy;
  • MRI of the pelvic organs;
  • PSA blood test;
  • biopsy;
  • bone scan.

One of the most effective diagnostic methods is a digital rectal exam of the prostate. Although in the acute form, the organ is very sensitive and the procedure can cause severe pain to the patient.

  1. "The international classification has no small importance in the treatment of inflammation of the prostate of any etiology, since the ICD 10 code allows to determine with precision the type of disease, to formulate a diagnosis and to carry out effective therapeutic measures".
  2. "My father had a prostate adenoma. The ICD code was deciphered by the doctor when it was determined with the diagnosis. The stage is quite neglected, the gland has almost tripled. An operation was scheduled and it was successful. Recovery was delayed, since age (over 60 years) and other chronic diseases took their toll. Now he has no complaints about the genitourinary system. "
  3. "Chr. ICD 41. 1 prostatitis is on my card. I have had this disease for a long time, but it rarely gets worse, as I do everything possible to avoid acute symptoms. The doctor said the diseases chronic ones don't go away, they may not appear for a long time, if you properly monitor your health. So I play sports: I run in the morning every day, I exercise, I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke. "
